We are about two weeks ahead of schedule here at the farm when it comes to natural signs of spring. The crocuses have come and gone, even though they were in bloom last year at this time. We are enjoying the colorful sights and fragrant scents of the flowers around us.

At our wedding last September, we gave daffodil bulbs as favors. The variety is a large all yellow flower:

I love the white daffodils with orange centers.

Our forsythia is so cheery. Check out my sweet garden clogs:

This ornamental weeping cherry is one of the most beautiful plants on our farm:

This one isn’t so bad either! Rouge seems to like it:

I had forgotten how beautiful the flower gardens that were here when we moved in are. I was looking through photos from last Spring and Summer and came across these. Please enjoy:

Every day a new type of flower blooms here. The flower gardens are so lush and mature. As soon as one bloom fades another takes its place. Here are some of the beautiful peonies and iris:

A white tree peony:

The blooms were so large and did not fall over like traditional peonies.

The foliage is beautiful as well:

Pink peony bush:

Each flower must be staked:

So bright and cheery:

Purple iris:

I don’t know the name of these pretty white flowers:

It was a cool, rainy day here so we didn’t get to dig any more vegetable garden beds. Instead I picked some flowers and arranged them to give to a friend.
